A method for packaging microfabricated reactors is described that allows for the creation of parallel arrays of operating devices for scalsup purposes.As a packaging demonstration, these microreactors are being coupled with microvalves and MEMS mass flow controllers to form a miniature microreactor test station. A novel method based on Known Good Die technology is used for the electrical and fluidic interfaces to the microreactors.The microfluidic components are mounted on standard circuit boards that have the monitoring and control circuitry along with fluidic connections. The boards are housed in a standard 6U CompactPCI chassis utilizing its backplane for the electrical connections between boards. This system will be the first demonstration of a scalable, parallel microreactor array that integrates reactors with other microfluidic devices and the electronic circuitry needed for monitoring and control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
